Thanks, mollusque! I've never heard of ackamarackus or galimatias, and never heard flannel used this way. Now that I check the OED, though, it seems that ackamarackus may have been coined by Damon Runyan, and galimatias may be related to gallimaufry. Oh, the fun.... :-)

Favorited! How about ackamarackus, flannel and galimatias? (I've been collected lees and keep finding nonsense).

Oooh, all good suggestions! Thanks, all! C_b, I was thinking of Col. Potter when I started this list. :-)

This list reminds me of Colonel Potter. How about horse hockey?
